Cycle 1 Action 2 Teaching Points

· Researchers use social settings to process the information we acquire from digital media sources about our research topics. Most of us find it helpful to meet with others researching about the same topic and use accountable literature talk strategies.

· Researchers utilize our team talks to develop new ideas about our topics. Sometimes it is helpful to record notes during our talks, using boxes and bullets, to develop main ideas and the details that support them.

· Researchers evaluate ourselves, and our teams to make sure we are getting the best out of our inquiry. One way we can do this is to listen to transcripts of our talks to make sure we are staying focused, or to come up with ways to make our inquiries and talks more effective.

· Researchers learn to engage in strong inquiries by standing on the shoulders of others. Listening to podcasts of other research teams conversations can help us to uncover the correct and sometimes incorrect ways of focusing our research.
